Performing a system repair is the only way - This will factory reset your phone
Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the onscreen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process
If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP
For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled. Richard P. Feynman

Don't forget to give Kudos.

Please, only a few know this, because almost nobody actually read the manual.
This information along with the illustration is from the beginning in the official user's manual for the phone.

All-In-One C4780 screen is stuck on a loop. How can I hard reset the printer?

I have a C4780 and am running Windows 7. I have had the printer for 2 years and never had a problem until recently. I have been unable to print for months because the touch screen on the printer is stuck in a loop. I first noticed the problem because I could hear random beeping and printer movement from the other room. It was doing it all on it's own. There were no changes to the computers, wireless or anything. I had just used it 2 weeks prior to print a passport photo and it worked fine.
It thinks I am trying to print from a memory card and asks me to insert the card. Then it thinks I am trying to print a passport photo. Then it thinks I am scanning and asks me to place the photo face down. (etc, etc) If I try to hit cancel on any of the screens, it moves on to a different task it thinks I want done. If I try to follow through with the task it wants to do, it cancels it on it's own and moves on to another task. It will also move through the screens and tasks without me around. It moves so quickly through the screens that when I do try to get to a certain screen, I sometimes can't, because the printer has taken off in a different direction of screens all on its own.
All software is up to date.
I have tried turning it off, unplugging it, waiting, plugging it back in, turning it on.
I have tried unplugging it while it is on, waiting, plugging it in and turning it on.
I tried a semi-full reset by pressing bottom left 4 times. It was actually really difficult because the printer kept changing screens randomly while I was doing it. I finally got it to do the reset. It got to the "now printing alignment page..." screen and then just moved on to the main screen. Never printed the page. Shortly after that it started doing the screen loop with wireless settings. And now it is back to doing a loop through all the screens again.
It seems to be pushing buttons on its own.
Does anyone have any idea of how I can fix this? Is there a way to do a hard-reset on this printer? Restore it to factory settings? Or doing you think there is something physically wrong with the touch screen where it is actually pressing buttons on it's own?

I'm having the same problem, including paper running through the printer randomly. I believe I completed a semi-full reset that (so far) has stopped the paper going through the printer. And, the random changes on the touch screen seem to have stopped too. But, the touch screen still lights up and goes dark randomly, whcih leads me to believe that all is still not well.
I too would like to try and hard reset if one is possible on this machine.

How to make hard reset on Toshiba Journ.E Touch?

How to reset hard the Toshiba journ e touch?
Thanks

The only way I have managed to recover completely, which appears to be equivalent to a hard-reset.
Apply (or re-apply) the firmware update using SD card. Make sure to get the correct file that corresponds to your device. (mine is PX1530U-1ET1)
be aware that any previously used SD card needs to be formatted by a Windows PC to be totally successful.
I had problems getting the card recognised by the journe until I did a complete reformat of the card. (using quick format isn't thorough enough).
1. back up your data
2. put firmware onto card using a Windows PC
3. plug the charger into Journe touch
4. slide reset switch to left and back to the right. (with a paper clip)
5. insert your firmware SD card
6. power up and the Updating message should pop up.
It usually takes a couple of minutes to get things back to usable.
power off and remove the SD card. (keep it safe for future problem resolution)

How do I format my Nokia device?
You can format your device by typing *#7370# in standby mode. Before the device is reset, you need to provide the lock code. The default lock code is 12345.
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
Formatting the device will permanently erase all user data and settings as well as add-on applications and operator specific settings.
If you have made a backup of the device data, the data can be restored from the backup after formatting but some add-on applications can have restrictions that they are not restored from the backup.
If you use formatting to repair faulty behaviour of the device, restoring the backed-up data files may restore the unwanted behaviour as well. In that case, a partial restore may resolve the situation.
The contents of the SIM card and memory card (MMC) are not erased during formatting. Note, however, that in some device models (e.g. Nokia N8-00) the mass memory is formatted in this situation and it is therefore important that you have backed up all the data from your mass memory (E: mass memory) before resetting the device.

Hard reset Nokia N97 without knowing lock password

I received this phone from our inventory at work. I am not sure who used it before me. But, I do not know the lock pass code. How can I hard reset it without knowing the lock password. Everything I try, I am prompted for the lock password except one attempt. I held in the up arrow, shift key and back arrow while powering on. This did some type of reset. But, the lock password still is not 12345.
So, either the lock password for Nokia N97 is not 12345 by default, or this is not a true hard reset?
Any ideas?

You could try changing the sim, it may be a sim lock code and not a phone lock code, I have my sim locked but if I change for spare sim the phone doesn't require a code it just starts ! Worth a try ?

How to change the batteries on a palm m125 without having to do a hard reset

Some palm m125's are defective meaning that when one changes the AAA batteries one is presented with a no way out question on whether yes to hard reset or no to not hard reset, yes it's true that what i mean by no way means that even a soft reset will NOT make it work again, hope you just did a backup right.. oh! and this will prob. only work if you have enough battery power to keep the unit on: ie: around 5% battery...
Anywhoo I have found a workaround for this bug or so that may help you, please read below on how to hopefully preserve the data on your handheld's m125 hardware without this hard reset lockup...
Note: Testing with rechargeables in (Maxxus 1100 mah) and then put in alkalines = mixed results :/, but alkalines out then new ones in should work fine..
Okay - fairly simple - Let's start:
A: Turn on the unit - yes u heard me turn the unit ON
B: Flip the unit over
C: While the unit is ON take out the top battery first and replace it as fast as you can with the newer one and make sure it is in before doing the next step...
D: now do the bottom battery...
E: turn the unit on by pressing the power button
Result: If all goes well, u'll see the palm logo and then it should show the prefs screen of which you've successfully saved all ur user data. - What it did was a soft reset.
So far with alkalines i've had nothing but success - if anyone out there owns a m125 as well and can confirm that this tip works, please post to let others know ur success or unsuccess of trying out my tip..
My Test Results Tested on Factory State unit (Hard Reset Unit ):
Alkalines -> Alkalines = 99% (if done correctly) = Pretty Safe*
Alkalines -> Rechargeables = 50% (if done correctly) = Warning/Caution
Rechargeables -> Alkalines = Not Consistant enough to measure (if done correctly) = Very Risky
*If ur unit stills asks on Alka to Alka then Just maybe a software program is now causing it to ask for a hard reset as I'm still testing this.
If method One does not work out, I've also tried the following with success esp. on Rechargeables -> Alkalines, but this will requre more work and a more steady hand...
A: Turn the unit ON
B: Press and hold DOWN button
C: While holding the Down button, take out the TOP battery first and replace it, DO NOT let go of the down button on the handheld
D: Now replace the BOTTOM battery
E: Let go of the Down Button
F: Press the on button
If all goes well you will see the palm logo meaning that it just did a soft reset, but ur data should still be intact, With method 2 I was able to get a more success rate. , But I am still testing on when the unit is fully loaded, etc.. as these tests were done on a hard reset unit. You can also try holding the up button instead of the bottom one for a method 3. Again anyone out there with success or unsuccess stories - please tell as i'd like to hear your expierence with my findings here.

Hi
Im using fireworks to put it all together visually and mechanically
and then I'd like to export it to dreamweaver
This is a bad idea, and will only create problems further down the line. For the correct way to do this see -
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dw_fw_css_pt1.html there are 3 parts to this tutorial series.
As for the effect you wish, (no full page load) this is known as ajax and if you are new and using dreamweaver then the spry framework is probably the easiest to learn, see http://www.webmonkey.com/2010/02/build_ajax_components_with_spry/, your dreamweaver documentation also contains a description of how to use Spry, the full Spry documentation and examples are available at - http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/home.html.
